A unicycle fits too, is lighter, doesn't require folding, and gets more looks than the RV when you ride away on it.

How well does it coast down a hill?

the visual.....
The visual of someone coasting down a hill on a unicycle...... I know they don't have clutches...... Does this involve a wig and a red foam nose? The folding bikes are really cool and a bit pricy it seems. Still looking for a really small bike to fit in the back of my -3...

Brian,
No wig or red nose involved, but there are a small number of guys riding unicycles on serious mountain trails around here. Takes big lungs, legs and cajones.

Jim, that is interesting because after doing much bike riding, you might as well have them removed!
Back on topic, I have ridden the Citizen Gotham 2. It is really not a bad bike considering it's size and the ability to stuff it in about anywhere. I know there are more expensive bikes that fold, but for the money, the Citizen is a pretty good choice.
